Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing
11 hours 51 mins ago
IGN had a video mix that took scenes from the new game, Grand Theft Auto IV. Okay, normal, but listen to this. The video was a mix of parts of the game where you saw lap dances, strip clubs, sex and lastly, the shooting of hookers. The video was called Ladies of Liberty City: Very Bad Things and showcased sex and shooting women. What was IGN thinking? In response IGN took the video down and said that they "crossed the line".
The video was a collection of GTA IV gameplay scenes. It starts with a montage of pole-dancing and lap-dancing. Thats followed by the drive-by shooting of a woman, then a visit to a strip club.
Footage of an acrobatic lap-dance is immediately followed by a scene of the games protagonist, Niko Bellic, gunning down a scantily-clad woman in the middle of the street.
Etcetera.
Why would IGN make a video like that?

It's good that they took it down, imo. Keeps from getting the controversy that R* is used to. That and good ol' Jack would have likely used it against the company.
Armed Rebel is correct.
Anyway, IGN should've kept it. It's not like they're forcing anyone to watch it.
